Readd removed Items

Hello!

With the release of 1.0 many items were removed from the game. To give examples, the Katfish Katana, EMP Grenade, the Nightstick, decorations like the Geometric screen and many other things are now no longer available. I really can't understand though why they removed those items. It wouldn't have hurt anyone to just leave the items there instead of bothering to remove them from Starbound.

The more items we have, the more possibilities we have with decorating our home or creating outfits, or even roleplaying.

What do you think?

 

It's been happening for quite some time now, and hopefully it's the end of that with it being post 1.0 now.

The only thing that comes to mind would be possible under-par/unfitting objects or potential copyright infringements or avoiding controversy. But this has happened in pretty much every version since the oldest days, never really understood the reason for most of them. Hopefully some are just getting sprite or description updates and aren't gone for good. I know a lot of old biomes were replaced and removed, as Heck was replaced with Flesh, Rust replaced with Foundry, and Crystal replaced with Geode. but stuff like the Geometric screen which looked perfectly fine had to be some sort of worry of a Matrix copyright or something. Don't know why high tier furniture recipes were removed, as they can no longer be farmed and still aren't 3d printable, and as such they are no longer viable for decorating towns and the like.

I know the Glitch Spider and bunker robots were removed due to lore changes and monster/NPC aggression and AI changes. Don't really get why so many monsters aren't capturable and mutants are now on that list, sort of kills more variety as well.

But yes, the main things I looked forward to in 1.0 was keeping a world to build up from and content staying in the game. I'm hoping both of those will continue.

 

we also lost a pile of weapons, and character choices which i still don't understand at all. that and being locked into a new, clunky hotbar has killed a lot of my motivation to play....

 

yeah, it's just sad. I mean, what exactly does it bring to bring out updates with alot of new stuff when at the same time alot of old stuff is being removed?

 

well I miss the planet generation stuff including animals much more.
